hey thanks for the reply

I was thinking of trying with lime juice to get a sort of Key Lime Pie cheesecake. I could even include some of the zest to intensify the flavor. Lime juice is pretty potent so it might work

Good tip on the frozen concentrate. I hadn't thought of that. I'll look into that.

Hi everyone-

Just got the info about the cheesecake and it sounds yummy! I just started induction today so I believe I will have to wait a while to make it. My question is - is there s/f jello made with splenda? I think I too have only seen the nutrasweet ones though I have to admit I haven't looked recently! Thanks again -

Patty

I can't wait to try this recipe. Wanted to tonight, but didn't have any cottage cheese and didn't feel like going out to the store. So instead I'm making the jello cheese cake that's on the back of the knox box. Just sub'ing splenda for the sugar. Will pick up some cottage cheese tomorrow so I can try this version.

Angry Ugh

Well, the plain cheesecake I made last night (not the one from the recipe in this thread) didn't turn out that great. It tastes like slightly sweetened cream cheese. Which while isn't a BAD taste, isn't what you're looking for when you're wanting cheesecake.

So I just got done making Ruth's jello cheesecake. I'll let you know how it tastes in a few hours. I needed to double the recipe because I only had a full 16 oz container of cream cheese, and I'm too lazy to seperate it. I'm definitely gonna need to invest in a metal mixing bowl that I can pop in the freezer for a while so that my heavy cream whips up right. And there were still plenty of lumps of cottage cheese in the "batter". But it still tasted great. I'm with KarenB. Cleaning the mixing bowl was tastey.

Thumbs up

Okay, I have to say this cheesecake is delicious. I used strawberry jello. The ONLY problem is that the cottage cheese didn't really smooth out. I used a small curd cottage cheese. And well, there are tiny lumps all throughout the cheesecake. Is that normal? I mean, I still love it. The lumps are just a little distracting. But still it's my new favorite dessert. Thanks for the recipe Ruth!

Thumbs down lumpy!?

Hi Azure,

I'm glad you like it, it's sure a fave of mine. Are you using a blender on the cr cheese/jello/cottage cheese mix? I always use a Braun wand/hand blender until it's smooth, about 4 - 5 mins & Marlaine uses a standard blender and it always turns out smooth. I'm guessing that you just used the beaters, and that won't take care of the lumps. I'm not sure I'd like it lumpy Good luck with the next one.

This cheese cake has become a part of my menu these days, I have it probably once a day...my favorate is Lemon.

I put the cottage cheese in the blender until smooth, then I add the jello & cream cheese to it (after the jello disolves in the hot water) then blend some more, comes out really smooth, then I fold it into my whipped cream, works perfect every time.

Cool Freeze those cheesecakes!

Thanks for the suggestion on freezing this yummy cheesecake, Marlaine! It DOES have an ice creamy like texture when still partially frozen. This is my favorite way to eat this cheesecake now. When I serve dinner, I get out a slice of cheesecake and leave it on the counter on a saucer. By the time I'm done with dinner, it's ready.

Making a white chocolate raspberry cheesecake tonight. Made sure I blended the cottage cheese with my braun stick until nice and smooth. Added some da vinci white chocolate syrup to the cottage cheese to help smooth it out. Can't wait until it sets.

Please let us know how it turns out! I just found this thread while looking for ideas for Thanksgiving dinner. It all sounds so wonderful and I can't wait to try this recipe and it's variations!

The white chocolate raspberry one turned out great. This recipe is one I use a few times a month. It's VERY important that as soon as its sets you slice it into individual portions and FREEZE them. Trust me on this. You'll end up eating the whole thing otherwise.

Post Yum!

I am definately going to have to try this!

I was thinking of trying crushed macadamias for a bit of a crust. Sounds like it would be a great dessert to have around for the holidays...

Thanks for the suggestion to freeze individual slices pronto, Azure! Great (and cautious) idea.

Donald

It was Marlaine's idea to freeze them. It's just become a MUST for me or else I end up eating the entire damn thing by myself within a couple of days.
